Protect

“It’s human nature to be concerned mostly with short-term threats. We don’t change our behavior to avoid future disasters. Instead we wait around for something to force us to change. It’s part of our genetic makeup” Michael Soul

The time to protect what we love starts the moment we decide we want to make a change. We don’t need to change where we live but we need to change how we live, small steps at the times.

Ecosystems function on complex webs and delicate balance, our actions, even when they appear remote, affect our entire environment. By slowly changing our ways we can affect consequences near and remote from us, for a better environment for everyone to enjoy and share.

Tips for every day change:

Use reusable shopping bags

Bring canvas bags to the store to collect your produce

Carry a reusable water bottle

Keep a coffee mug at your desk

Take your own container at a restaurant if you know you will be carrying home leftovers

Carry your lunch to work in a reusable container or stop and eat at a place providing reusable cutlery and plates

Reduce the amount of lights you keep on in the house

Unplug what you are not using, each one of those red lights is burning power
